FIRST 6 DAYS OF YELLOWSTONE

The last week has been hectic.  We came thru the South Entrance last Wednesday and now on day 6 have been to the West, North and East Entrance's.  We had orientation at the West Entrance, on our way we encountered two bison jams and got a picture of an elk munching on the side of the road.  See pictures below:

We spent the next 3 days learning the job.  Each day we worked 7 hours running a cash register or stocking shelves.  At times the weather would be sunny, rainy or hailing all with in one hour.  We have met a lot of very nice people and a lot of us brought our RV's.  See pictures below:

 Don't we look spiffy in our uniforms and see all the snow around our RV.

We were off Monday & Tuesday, on Monday we went to Gardiner, MT.  We made several stops within the park to see waterfalls and wildlife.  Gardiner is the North Entrance into the park so we took pictures of the Roosevelt Arch.  We had a very nice lunch at a local hangout that was recommended by other people online.  On our way back to the Lake area we stopped and saw both the upper and lower falls of the Yellowstone River.

Upper Falls

We continued on our way home and happened across another traffic jam.  Everyone was looking off to the west.  We had to spot to check out the commotion and guess what we saw?  A grizzly and her cubs way off in the distance.  No we didn't need our bear spray.

On Tuesday we went to Cody, WY which is the East Entrance, we saw lots of beautiful scenery and lots of snow.  Did some shopping in Cody and ate at a Chinese place.  We are currently sitting in a McDonald's uploading this blog.  Hope you are all doing well, we are working the next 5 days straight on the late shift.
